Abstract

Sago, one of Indonesia’s staple foods, holds significant potential for food diversification due to its high carbohydrate content. However, despite its nutritional benefits, sago consumption remains less popular than corn and potatoes. Sago porridge, a traditional food product, can be developed into a healthy alternative, but its translucent brown color is visually unappealing, affecting consumer acceptance. This study aims to evaluate the optimal concentration of red dragon fruit extract as a natural colorant to enhance the visual appeal of sago porridge. The research method involved testing varying concentrations of red dragon fruit extract (0%, 2%, 4%, 6%) through sensory evaluation and physical analysis. Results showed that a 6% concentration yielded the highest acceptability, with the following physical properties: strawberry red color (L*:48.4; a*:70.8; b*:21.5), viscosity of 56,000 mPažs, texture force of 8.7980 N, and pH of 7.21. This study contributes through the innovative use of red dragon fruit extract as a natural colorant, improving both the visual appeal and nutritional value of sago porridge. The optimal 6% concentration provides a practical reference for local food industries to produce value-added products, supporting food diversification based on local resources and aligning with global trends in healthy, natural foods.

Abstract

Tea contains chemical compounds that are beneficial to the body, such as phenolic compounds. Packaged tea drinks are obtained from steeping tea with the addition of water, sugar, synthetic flavors, stabilizers, acidity regulators, and food additives that are tightly packaged. This research aims to evaluate the suitability of the quality of packaged tea drinks based on SNI requirements and determine physicochemical characteristics which include pH and total dissolved solids, while functional properties include total phenols and antioxidant activity. This research used a purposive sampling technique designed with a Completely Randomized Design with two duplicate replications. The results of the physicochemical and functional characteristic tests were analyzed using the ANOVA method and DMRT with α=5%. The results show that ready-to-drink tea products have a pH value between 5.4–6.79, total dissolved solids with a value of 6.5–8.2 °Brix, and antioxidant activity with a value of 56.83%–79.15%, where in terms of physicochemical content and functional properties, the five samples of packaged tea drinks can be said to be good. However, only 3 of the 5 samples had phenol content that was in accordance with that required by SNI 3413 of 2011.
